It was a superb evening for a Canada Day party in Victoria, BC.
The crowd welcomed the First Nations blessing, and the mayor clearly acknowledged the contentious nature of the celebration. There was an impromptu demonstration, and that also went over well.
Here are a few photos:
I was keeping a hand over my lens in the crowd to protect it, and at one point it fogged up, producing a nice effect.
